Cheap vs. Cheaper – MICHAEL Michael Kors Juniper Espadrilles vs. Diba Rode E Oh

by Irina on March 21, 2011

Espadrille wedges are perfect spring/summer shoes. Recently I’ve come across the MICHAEL Michael Kors “Juniper” Espadrilles which instantly reminded me of the Stuart Weitzman “Alex” wedges (famously worn by Jen Aniston and others). At $140 they’re relatively easy on most people’s budgets, but then I happened to come across the “Rode E Oh” wedges by Diba which are practially identical twins but for less than half the price of the Kors shoes. Steal deal!

Cheap vs. Cheaper – Steve Madden Caryssa vs. Qupid Neutral-01

by Irina on December 23, 2010

Sometimes it doesn’t take a designer shoe for another shoe company to knock it off. Case in point: Steve Madden‘s $90 platform pump which has previously been copied by Bamboo and now it’s Qupid who came up with an almost identical Madden twin for a 1/3 of the original’s price. I’m so digging the yellow color, these pumps are what you’ll need to make an outfit pop. And besides, every girl should have a few pairs of fun shoes, right? And ooh, I also like how Qupid’s version is even brighter.
